React native : moment not working for specific time value without debug mode

Question

I have below code where I format the time value to be date format.

 const arrivalDateTime = moment(
   `${todaysDate.format(\"YYYY-MM-DD\")} ${arrivalTime}:         


        

Answer 1

Took me a while but I finally figured it out.

this helped me

This didn't work:

 const arrivalDateTime = moment(
   `${todaysDate.format("YYYY-MM-DD")} ${arrivalTime}:00:00`,
 ).toDate();

This worked:

const arrivalDateTime = moment(
  `${todaysDate.format('YYYY/MM/DD')} ${arrivalTime}:00`,
).toDate();

// note that engine does not seem to like parsing with ' - '. so I changed it to ' / '

still not sure the reason behind it.
